Mark Robins

Many believed for some time that Mark Robins' FA Cup third-round winner against Nottingham Forest in 1990 saved Sir Alex Ferguson's job.

Addressing the rumour, Robins once told the BBC: "Nobody will ever know and I am pleased it never came to that and he was able to fulfill his destiny."

Sir Alex refutes the claim, saying: "The goal at Forest was an important goal, don't get me wrong, and who's to say what would have happened without it, but I don't think it saved my job" (via The Telegraph).

Either way, the moment earns Robins cult status at Old Trafford, despite him only scoring 11 league goals for the Red Devils.
